Enjoying the cooler weather and so are the plants. Since no rain , would water on our normal seasonal budget/adjust of 80% for the rest of October. If your controller is set to water 1/2" per start or cycle @ 100%, then 80% is about 0.4" which is just about right for this week. Come November 1st, we recommend a seasonal adjustment of 50%.

NOTE: These reported values are hourly averages, not absolute highs and lows.

*Recommendations based on the following parameters (assuming no rainfall):

Finally starting to cool off here in Austin at night, Plants are loving it and starting to flower all around town. 2" of rain on Saturday helped a lot. Based on needing only .39" of water this week, if your rain gauge measred over 1/2" of rain this weekend, I would skip a watering cycle this week. Happy mowing !
